• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in his answer the Assistant Minister says that the Ministry intends to undertake the building of large and medium size dams and pans in Ijara. Are they intending to build a lake or they are building a dam the size of a lake? Do you understand what you are talking about? Is it a miracle that you are going to build a dam the size of a lake? view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have listened carefully to the Vice-President. The question that Ms. Karua asked was very clear. The question was: Are the prison warders still staying in those deplorable conditions five years after the strike which was precipitated by staying in those bad houses? I have not heard a clear answer from the Vice-President regarding that question. Is he in order? view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, after watching many headteachers converge at the last Annual Headteachers Conference, where they made decisions intended to help Kenyan students, I would like to understand when the Minister plans to also have meetings with headteachers of private schools and informal schools. I believe what was represented at the last conference were the Government schools. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was fortunate not to be here in the House yesterday, but I was watching this issue on television. I am very clear that what Mr. C. Kilonzo has done is what he was asked to do. However, what is more fundamental is that the issues he has raised as to why he was bringing out the issues of personal interests are so fundamental and critical, and touch on the discipline and integrity of this House. Therefore, I am asking; since we have the Powers and Privileges Committee--- This is an ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Question has been brought due to the sensitivity of the issue of land in Lamu, because of the port. Would it be in order for me to ask that this Question be referred to the relevant Committee because the Assistant Minister is asking for more time and yet, we have mechanisms here that can solve the issue? view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Member for Dujis to mislead this House that he does not understand why the party is seeking to expel him when he knows very well that he has disowned the same political party which brought him to this House? view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Motion and to congratulate Eng. Gumbo for bringing it. This is not the first Motion that our colleague has brought and he always brings Motions that are pertinent to the issues of the people of Kenya. Therefore, I feel honoured to support this Motion on this particular issue that concerns the young women of this country. This is an issue that has for many years been talked about. Many directives have been given on this issue. My reason for supporting this Motion is that I feel it is going to ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: We must start by recognizing that even in the last Parliament, hon. Njoki Ndung’u, who was a nominated Member of Parliament, raised the issue of sanitary towels and a declaration was made at that time to subsidize the cost of sanitary towels. Only very recently, the Prime Minister also made a declaration of providing free sanitary towels to students in vulnerable areas. Subsequently, the Government allocated Kshs300 million for the same. All these are commendable endeavours and we thank those who have been at the forefront, including networks like the Girl Child Network that has for long advocated for the ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Member of Parliament to cast aspersions on the lady Members of Parliament who have walked out when we can see the House is empty and double or triple that number of men have walked out and he is not raising the same? Is it in order for him to cast aspersions on the dignity of women Members of Parliament? view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. In my contribution, I started by saying that this issue was first raised by Ms. Njoki Ndung’u when she was a nominated Member of Parliament here. As KEWOPA we have been at the forefront of issues of sanitary towel provision. Even the Prime Minister’s announcement on this issue was done in a forum for women. Therefore, women are at the forefront. Is it in order for the Member of Parliament who is making a very good contribution to dilute his good statement by giving inaccurate facts about the commitment of ... view
